Paris Tipping And Bargaining

By law in France, a service charge is added to bills in bars and restaurants, called “service compris”. Most people do however, leave some change (up to 2€) for drinks and food, and in nicer restaurants it is not uncommon to leave 5% of the bill. For other services, like taxis and hairdressers, 10-15% tip is acceptable.
